(ed: entered verbatim as I have no real idea what this is about - but it sounds almost sensible!) There is a "secret language" called Turkey-Irish. It is similar to Opish.

Of course, it has nothing to do with pigs. And nothing to do with Latin either, except that the derivation of the word Latin and the second half of Pig Latin are identical. Latin is simply the Semitic word LaSHoN = tongue, with the original dental-sound for the shin. Compare Ladino; and Lisan, the tongue of land that almost divides the Dead Sea into north and south parts. The "pig" in Pig Latin is related to Semitic peh-gimel-(heh) PaG(aH) = boy (or girl) before puberty. Compare English "page" = a boy servant or attendant, or the redundant "pageboy" haircut. There are a wide variety of children's languages. To the extent that they are designed to keep secrets from adults, they *must* change every generation.

half-a-crown (2/6) from the mid-1900s, and rarely also slang for a crown (5/-), most likely based in some way on madza caroon ('lingua franca' from mezzo crown), perhaps because of the rhyming, or some lost cockney rhyming rationale.
The aroma lingering on the skin after "fingering" a girl.
One got a "ling" when riding your bicycle and held on to a moving motor vehicle with one hand to save pedalling. A red traffic light or stop sign was a good place to start a ling. A long tow was a good ling. "I got a ling all the way home yesterday". The word was common at schools in Melbourne around 1939 to 1943. The best place to hold onto for a ling was somewhere outside of the drivers vision in his rear mirrors. If a driver knew that he had picked up a ling he would often speed up to frighten the linger into letting go of his handhold. Flat tray trucks were excellent to get a ling on because there were plenty of hand holds.
